Before U.N. Address, Ahmadinejad Talks Of New World Order

by: September 26, 2012

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad takes to the podium this morning at the U.N. General Assembly, and in something of a preview he told The Associated Press that “God willing, a new order will come together” that in his view would end “the system of empires” led by a “bullying” U.S.

We’ll watch for highlights from the Iranian leader’s address, which will likely begin sometime after 10 a.m. ET. If Ahmadinejad repeats some of the things he’s said in the past — such as last year’s claim that the “mysterious Sept. 11 incident” was a “pretext [for the U.S.] to attack Afghanistan and Iraq” — diplomats from the U.S. and other nations will almost surely walk out in protest.
